I have Dishonored and as good as the game and art style is there are plenty of low-res textures and stuff. Max Payne 3. Good idea but I need to wait for a steam sale on that one.

I have 32 years worth of a journal I have to scour through for my research but I need to provide a preliminary report about the sources I intend to use. I'm not sure which articles will be of note and which won't; is there a way to cite an entire journal or multiple years worth of a journal in Chicago style?

I always chickened out and used MLA when I knew I could get away with it (loyalties divided between history and English departments at a tight-knit college), and while I do have CMS taking up space on my lap right now, I wonder if this helps without me having to fumble uselessly through the book?

That's definitely true, you basically want to match the office dress code. If I were in the OP's position though, my civvies would be very different from work attire at most places.

My next online persona is going to be named Max Formalwear now, thank you. On topic, I've always heard that you should dress like your boss for an interview (gender appropriate obviously). So if your office dress code says the grunts are business casual, but your boss wears a suit M-F, bring a suit to the interview. For a temp agency, if you've already done the interview with the employer, business casual should be fine, but nothing "lower" than that. EDIT:VVVV Congratulations!

EDIT: I misread the context of the letter so what I've said here is probably extra-wrong.Added Space posted:I got a weird letter from a German hotel. It's handwritten, but the handwriting is horrible cursive. I tried to dump it into online translators but there's so many vague letters that they don't recognize any of the words. Can anyone figure this out? This is a fun puzzle, but I'm not getting very far. code:http://dieloesung.jo2ko.de/ And for full but possibly inaccurate transcriptions, use the spelling suggestions at google.de. Then for translation, use leo.

If you rate books you've read on Amazon, it will base its suggestions for you on those ratings. I find it's pretty good at picking out stuff I'll like. Or is there some reason why you can't use Amazon for this?

There's two different types of those reading lamp style halogen bulbs, and one is definitely bigger than the other.

We tried the old bulb, but it didn't fit in either. It's a bit of a moot point, since she's said she's going to throw it out and pulled a new one out of the garage.

When I get responses to an ad I posted on freecycle, even if they are from multiple people, the emails have the same subject line and so they come together as if it's one conversation. I am using gmail, and I really would like these emails to be separated. How can I do this?

They're dubbing all of the dialogue lines, why shouldn't they dub/replace the intro songs too (when they have lyrics)? Also in some cases there may be music rights issues.

Are there any vegetables that are more expensive in the summer than they are in the winter? Or in fact, any product that is more expensive to produce in summer? I'm talking about price for the manufacturer to make it rather than for the consumer to buy it.

Erm. My turn for a Gmail question, apparently: Woke my computer after an hour away today to find my little camera icon turned into a plain dot on Gchat. After a little mindless fumbling, Gmail prompted me to download and install voice and video chat. Then once I got this sorted, which took all of fifteen seconds, I see that some of my other chat settings have been changed today--the most egregious being: "Automatically allow people I communicate with often to chat with me and see when I'm online." (NNNOOOOoooooo!) ...was checked instead of the wonderful elusive... "Only allow people that I've explicitly approved to chat with me and see when I'm online." Everything seemed to be in shape before I left earlier, camera icon shining proudly, so is this happening to users across the board or what? I've had video chat enabled for about a million years now, and none of this is really new to me so why are my settings hosed out of the blue? I'm kind of pissed that I have to comb through everything to make sure my account is on its usual hermit-level lockdown.

Don't put more than a cup of vinegar in, once the fabric is dry it should not retain any vinegar smell (or any bad scent at all). Vinegar rinses are also nice for your hair! Same thing, don't use to much and once it's dry, no smell.

I'm currently sick and my family doctor recommended that he prescribes me amoxicillin. However, I looked through my medicine cabinet and I found an unopen bottle of Amoxicillin, still sealed, in the back of the cabinet. It was prescribed in July 2010, and on the Walgreens label says to use before July 2011. It was in a cool and dark place, probably did not even move from the spot I found it in today, so I'm assuming it's still safe to use?

Why wouldn't you just get a new prescription? Antibiotics are dirt cheap. Some pharmacies even fill them for free.

Avocados posted:How do you dance at a club? Is there even a way to, just do your own thing? This is a serious question. Hoping this isn't a Saturday night emergency. I cannot dance to save my life, but my counter-question could maybe help someone who can answer yours better: What kind of club? Top 40? One of a million sub-genres of EDM? I have about two years constant exposure to the latter in rather intimate venues, and (with the exception of DnB) everyone silently communicated they were too cool to dance and settled with tilting their glass to the DJ now and then from their tables or couches, pursing their lips--eyes twinkling with jolly admiration--and nodding in approval. Serious answer, unfortunately. No matter how great the atmosphere was, I swear it was a rare soul that danced. If it was packed, people tend to feel more confident and do some self-aware semi-tongue-in-cheek grinding with their date for a few minutes. If the dance floor and walkways are sparsely occupied, one or two people doing some professional moves are going to either feel like utter tools or look like utter tools. Safety in numbers, I guess? Or, well, this, when in doubt.
